Sean McVay won't publicly share the Rams' timetable for Matthew Stafford's return, but he remains "very confident" the QB will play Week 1.

The Rams have a timetable for quarterback Matthew Stafford’s recovery from a sore back, but Los Angeles coach Sean McVay does not plan on making it public to avoid the perception of a possible setback.

Matthew Stafford is entering his 17th NFL season at age 37, and some injury concerns are warranted due to his stature. However, that did not stop the Los Angeles Rams media and parts of the fanbase from being worried over his lower back issues.
